Don't pucker up until you've tried these lip makeup gems from Lancome, Clinique, CoverGirl and more

What she thought: "First off, I love the packaging of this lipstick. It's sleek and looks like it costs way more than $6. It's a nice departure from most drugstore lipsticks, which can look a little cheap. Of course, the actual lipstick is great too. It has very little of that 'lipstick-y' smell (you know what I'm talking about) and the coverage is good without feeling heavy or sticky. I put it on before lunch and while it didn't feel like I was wearing much by the end of it, a quick glance in the mirror showed I still had plenty of color on my lips -- a rarity for me. Plus, it comes in more than 40 shades (and a few additional colors in the Queen collection), so I dare you not to find one that's perfect for you."
